Genesis 22-23: Kill The Kid! - The New Old Testament #9

Jack Geurts

Sinossi

What happens when God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son?
A cave burial, a brawl in a biker bar and a zombie plague is unleashed on the Middle East.
All this, and more, in Genesis 22-23: Kill the Kid.
Welcome to The New Old Testament, the book that will have you asking the question: "If we're as messed-up as we are, and God made us in his image, then what the hell must he be like?"
The New Old Testament is a re-imagining of the Bible as told to you by the drunk guy at the party. A drunk guy who seriously knows his scripture.
It's part adaptation, part commentary and 100% not for people who take the Bible too seriously. It's got a lot of violence, a lot of swearing and a lot of sex, so be warned.
Whether or not you believe it actually happened, the Bible is a fascinating story, full of great characters, epic battles and incredible journeys. There's love, there's betrayal, there's revenge. All that without any of the "sayeth's" or "unto's" or "thou's" that might have scared you off last time.
You're already familiar with its most famous characters - Noah, Moses, David and Goliath. Why not get to know Joshua, Elijah and Judah Maccabee? Seriously, some of the most badass heroes in literature can be found right there in the Old Testament.
So if you've always had a passing interest in the Bible but found the language to be way too dense, The New Old Testament has gone ahead and stripped out anything nonessential, keeping only the best, filthiest, most brutally horrifying parts. Especially the parts they leave out in church.
If the very thought of that made you tense up, then this probably isn't the book for you. If, on the other hand, you found yourself smiling, or at the very least, raising an eyebrow, you just might be in the right place.
For a fast-flowing, faithfully unfaithful, reverently irreverent, humbly boastful re-imagining of the Bible, download your copy today!

The Joy of Doing Just Enough

Jennifer McCartney

Sit around, leave sh*t all over the place, drink, forget about deadlines...being lazy is pretty easy. But the real art to being chill is when someone without any real ambition can fly under the radar and live unscathed by the never-ending reams of self-help and inspiration rained upon anyone who just wants to watch Netflix. Find that magical place where doing what comes naturally keeps the do-ers at arm's length. Rather than doing less, do just enough. Screw TED Talks, Instagram images of a beach with Fail Better in gold cursive, marathon training, tips for keeping plants alive, and all self-aggrandizing social media. Ninety-nine percent of people on this planet are just pretty average. We're doing our thing. Trying to get out of bed in the morning. Hey, are you awake right now? Reading a sentence? You know what? That's success in my book. Being a person is hard enough without all the pressure of being good at it.

Shikoku

David Tepfer

"...an island in Japan, where bicycles, food and love mix for high adventure." A retired professor-poet and a young doctor-jazz singer cycle Shikoku in the Seto Inland Sea. Their wanderings unite them emotionally and physically, and help them to overcome past tragedies and to discover new lives in themselves and each other. They are aided by bicycles, cherry blossoms, wild coastlines, hot spring bathing and Japanese cuisine. They discuss love, life, art and religion. The usual conflict between good and evil is subdued, and while the love story is the motive force, it is not the only intrigue. Shikoku is a "novelogue," not only because their adventures take place through cycling, but also because the characters undertake a voyage to a better life.
